Survex 0.99 prerelease 8 available

[Olly Betts]

This prerelease is available for all platforms except MSDOS on pre-386
machines and RISC OS (sorry!):

http://www.survex.com/

There are still some reports which aren't dealt with, most notably the
problem with aven on MS Windows failing to load a .3d file on start-up is
still with us.  Mark is currently investigating...

I believe all the aven key handling problems are now fixed.  Please let me
know if you still have any.

Brian: this should fix the problem you reported running the MSDOS version
outside MS Windows - can you check?

Wookey: this should fix the problem building on hppa Debian Linux.

Full list of user-visible changes between 0.99-prerelease7 and
0.99-prerelease8:

Changes in 0.99-prerelease8:

* aven: Ctrl + Arrow keys is now the preferred way to rotate and tilt
  (easier to remember than "C"/"V" and "'"/"/").

* aven: survey pane now gets initial focus so you no longer have to
  click on it before key presses are recognised.

* (MS Windows version): aven: fixed problems with some keys being
  impossible to enter in search box, or not being recognised in survey
  pane.

* (MS Windows version): aven: wxWindows messages files were missing.  We
  now include them for languages which Survex also supports.

* (MS DOS version): caverot: Shift and/or Ctrl + Arrow keys now works.

* aven: Close button in About box is now always right in the bottom right
  corner.

* Display copyright symbol rather than (C) where the current character set
  allows it.

* (MS DOS version): caverot: default to 320x200 when running under
  Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP as we already do on NT.

* (MS DOS version): fixed problem when running on DOS outside MS Windows.

* (MS DOS version): detect current codepage rather than assuming it's 850.
  We now support codepages 437 and 850 (the common ones) - for other
  codepages we fall back to using 7-bit ASCII.

* (Unix version): aven: now compiles cleanly with GCC3.0.

Cheers,
Olly
